The College of the Arts will present its first graduate degrees on Dec. 14, 2010 to members of the first class of Master of Arts in Teaching Art candidates. The program, founded in the summer of 2009, offers alternative means for initial certification for students already holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree or a professional undergraduate education degree in art.

Candidates* for the College of the Arts' first-ever graduate degrees include (from left) Amelia Johnson, Rochelle Rombalski, Sara McKouen, Robin Jones, Robert Lester (1996), Hannah Barber (2002),  Shannah Dean (1999), Tracey McWhorter-Gossett, Allison Donahue Rose and Thomas Dunn. Three candidates—Barber, Dean and Lester—previously completed the Bachelor of Arts degree in art at Kennesaw State.
